I am actually doing this on another site, well I have not started yet, but will soon. Some of you have already done some of the patterns, but some of us have not. This is a book that in my opinion can result in a lot of discussion and participation in this group. I know that SOme of you have made some of these Squares. The Learn to KNit Afghan Book By Barbara G. Walker is a great opportunity to have New and experienced Knitters create something of use that maybe we can donate to a local charity or we can make as a gift for a loved one. Let's hear it. It is a wonderful opportunity to also learn basic crochet if you llike and you can use left over yarn.

Visit Crafty Andy's BlogNo it is a Knit ALong that has the option of having a crochet border around the squares that you will be knitting, but there need not to be any crochet at all. It does teach the most basic crochet I guess, I am reading the book as I go. I hope I answered your question!

Dang. I just knit this book last year. I actually still need to finish seaming it all up. I found that it really increased my skills and confidence level with many different types of knitting - lace, cables, slip-stitch, color. Hmmm maybe I should consider another one with a new color scheme.

Hi Andy,
CAn you give me an idea of what the afghan looks like / I need to do an afghan for my partner's son and his wife, this might work. But I would not want to commit to doing the knit along until I knew what we were doing.

Thanks for the invitation. I would love to do it but time and skill don't permit. I'll finish off my current stuff and post them... I certainly do want to do one one day. I need to make one for my dog, he needs a doggy blanket... but not just yet. I need to practise doing stuff I have already done so I feel a little more confident.
Cheers,

I responded "no" but might be interested if it's something really cool. I will check the Amazon link or other and see what it is. Right now I have so many projects going on it's hard to know which to work on in what few spare minutes I have, which to smuggle into work on what day...
